Biology explores living organisms at all scales - from single cells to complex organisms, examining their interactions with environments and each other. This field spans all levels of biological organization, from molecules and cells to entire ecosystems. Biologists aim to comprehend life's structures and functions, investigating how organisms obtain energy, grow, and reproduce. Evolutionary theory serves as a unifying framework for understanding organismal changes over time. Introductory coursework covers core biological principles, including life's fundamental characteristics, molecular and cellular structures, organismal functions, and essential processes like metabolism and energy conversion.
